We are currently renovating a ranch bungalow and need some help on what to do with the back of the house.

i would like to save some money and just paint the lower concrete wall, below the brick and below the deck. Currently the concrete wall is an orange, somewhat to match the brick.

i have two questions:

1) what colour should I paint the concrete wall? Should it be the timber colour of the newly installed board and batten around the front and sides of the house? I plan to paint all the white windows with the same colour as the new windows installed in the renovation.

2) should I paint/stain the front small portion of brick exposed to the Left of the front door? I was hoping the exposed might be ok to leave as such.
